METS IN THE COMMUNITY
KIDS

more than $700,000 for
the Mets Foundation,
which funds and
promotes a variety of
educational, social and
athletic programs and
charitable causes.
The intimate evening
featured Mets
Ownership, General

featuring Mets players.
Guests had the
opportunity to taste

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

HOLIDAY SHOPPING SPREE


The Mets Foundation’s Holiday
Shopping Spree presented by Delta
Air Lines helped 10 children from
Queens experience a holiday season
like never before. Mets players Amed
Rosario and Dominic Smith, along
with Delta volunteers, surprised the
children with a $400 Target gift card
to spend on themselves and then
helped the children go shopping
throughout the store.
After the shopping was over, children
enjoyed a pizza party and made
holiday decorations with the players
and Delta volunteers. The children
were in for one more treat. The
players surprised them again with a
second $400 Target gift card to give
to their guardians to help with the
holidays or basic needs of
the household.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

YA GOTTA READ!
The Mets partnered with Queens Borough President Melinda Katz to launch the "Ya Gotta Read!"
program to help foster a love of reading in students. The pilot program was offered to 1,000 third,
fourth and fifth graders at P.S. 19 Marino Jeantet, the largest elementary school in New York.
Mr. Met helped launch the program at a kick-off rally at the school. The Mets challenged the students
to read one grade-level book a week and write a book report for each during the six-week program,
which coincided with the start of Mets Spring Training. Students were rewarded with Mets-themed
prizes after they read a certain number of books. Those who read six books or more received tickets to
a Mets game! The class that read the most books won a visit from Mr. Met and a Mets player!
The students at P.S. 19 stepped up to the plate and read a total of 4,061 books. They embraced reading
and hit the game-winning home run for the inaugural Mets Ya Gotta Read! program.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

HURRICANE RELIEF DRIVES


In response to the devastating hurricanes that ravaged Puerto Rico, Florida and Texas, the Mets held
two Hurricane Relief Drives to help those impacted by Hurricanes Maria, Irma and Harvey.
The Mets partnered with New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo on the Empire State Relief & Recovery
Effort for Puerto Rico to collect relief items at Citi Field during the last week of September. The team
worked with Queens Borough President Melinda Katz to spread the word and collect donations to help
those affected in Houston and Florida.
Mets fans and New Yorkers heeded the call and turned out in full force to help others in need. The
Mets collected over 300,000 pounds of food, water, diapers, toiletries, paper products and more.
The supplies for Puerto Rico were sent to the island via charter planes and cargo ships. An 18-wheel
truck loaded with items for Florida headed to First Data Field in Port St. Lucie where more than 60
Mets minor leaguers unloaded the supplies and distributed them to groups working with Mustard Seed
assisting the community in Ft. Pierce. The second 18-wheeler bound for Texas was received by the
Houston Food Bank.
The drive would not have been a success without the generosity of hundreds of New Yorkers and Mets
partners including Alliance Building Services, Hain Celestial, Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola and Aramark.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

METSGIVING
TURKEY GIVEAWAY
The Mets hosted their fourth annual turkey giveaway
in advance of Thanksgiving, distributing 500 turkeys
with the help of Uber throughout the five boroughs to
help families in need. Mets infielder Wilmer Flores went
door to door in Corona delivering turkeys and all the
fixings for a Thanksgiving dinner, while Mets employees
volunteered to hand out turkeys at various locations
throughout the city.
The Mets worked with Mets Community Partner the River
Fund NY to give away turkeys to families in Richmond
Hill in Queens, Cayuga Centers in the South Bronx, Mets
Community Partner New York Common Pantry in East
Harlem in Manhattan, Project Hospitality in Staten Island
and Agape Food Rescue in East New York in Brooklyn.
The Mets also worked with the NYPD Community Affairs
office from the 110th precinct to select 25 families who
received complete Thanksgiving meals.

KIDS HOLIDAY PARTY


The Mets hosted 125 children from local Queens
schools for the annual Kids Holiday party at Citi Field.
The festivities included lunch, games and holiday
performances from each school. Mets outfielder Brandon
Nimmo dressed up as Santa while teammates Noah
Syndergaard, Jerry Blevins and Kevin Plawecki served as
his elves and handed out presents to the children.
COAT DRIVE
The Mets provide annual support to the New York Cares
Coat Drive with their own “Warm-Up” Holiday Coat
Drive at Citi Field presented by United Healthcare. Mets
outfielder Michel Conforto helped welcome fans and
collected coats during the Coat Drive. In total, Mets fans
donated more than 1,200 coats to help those in need.
Fans who donated received a pair of tickets to a
Mets game.

FOOD DRIVE
The Mets and Hain Celestial teamed up for the annual
Food Drive benefiting the River Fund NY, a hunger-relief
organization based in Richmond Hill, Queens. Fans who
donated at least 10 non-perishable items received a
voucher good for two tickets to
a Mets home game in 2018. The
November drive generated 5,000
pounds of food.

THE METS LOGO

gone virtually unchanged throughout the history of the club. The shape
of the insignia, with its orange stitching, represents a baseball, and the
bridge in the foreground symbolizes that the Mets, in bringing back
National League baseball to New York, represent all five boroughs.
It’s not just a skyline in the background, it has special meaning. At the
left is a church spire, symbolic of Brooklyn, the borough of churches.
The second building from the left is the Williamsburg Savings Bank,
the tallest building in Brooklyn. Next is the Woolworth Building. After a
general skyline view of midtown comes the Empire State Building. At
the far right is the United Nations Building.

1-0 GAMES
The Mets have an all-time record of 131-118 in games that have ended with 1-0 scores. The Mets didn’t
play a 1-0 game in 2017. The Mets posted their most wins in 1-0 games in 1969, when the club went
9-5. On September 29, 1993 the Mets and Cardinals battled for 16 scoreless innings before Jeff Kent’s
17th-inning double plated the game’s only run. A long evening, but not a club record. That honor
belongs to the 1-0 Mets loss on April 15, 1968 when the Mets and Astros went 23 scoreless innings
before Houston pushed across the winning run on an infield error.

Johnson. The home run came in the second inning of the Mets’ 14-5 win over the Colt 45s, and also
represented the first home run ever by a Mets pitcher.
Four years later, on May 20, 1967, Jack Hamilton blasted a bases-loaded home run at Shea off St. Louis’
Al Jackson. Tommy Davis, Ken Boyer and Jerry Grote marched home ahead of Hamilton, who connect-
ed in the second inning of the Mets 11-9 loss to the Cards.

POLO GROUNDS
For the first two years of their existence, the
Mets played their home games at the historic
Polo Grounds while waiting for the finish of the
construction of Shea Stadium.
The stadium where the Mets won 56 games during
the 1962 and 1963 seasons actually was the fourth
venue to carry the name the “Polo Grounds.” The
first structure, located between 110th and 112th
Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues in upper
Manhattan, opened its doors in 1876 as a home to
polo matches. In 1880, the New York Metropolitans
leased the grounds for baseball with the New York
Giants following suit three years later.

wooden grandstand, was located on 155th Street The Mets’ first game at the Polo Grounds, April 13, 1962.

SHEA STADIUM
In 1964, the Mets moved from Manhattan to
Queens and their brand-new home, William A.
Shea Municipal Stadium. Located on 126th Street
and Roosevelt Avenue, Shea would welcome more
than 94 million fans and some of the most famous
moments in Mets history during its 45 years.
The stadium originally was to be called “Flushing

METS VS. YANKEES


In 2000, the Mets and Yankees faced off in the first Subway World Series since the Yankees
defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956. The Yankees went on to win the series in five games. The two
teams also met in a historic doubleheader on July 8, 2000, marking the first time that the same two
teams played two games in one day at different ballparks in 97 years. In 2017, the Mets went 0-4 vs.
the Yankees during the regular season. Here’s a look at the Mets record in the series:

Overall......................................................... 94-132-2
World Series ..........................................................1-4
Regular Season ............................................. 46-66
Spring Training ........................................... 36-48-1
Mayor’s Trophy ...............................................8-10-1
Mayor’s Challenge .............................................2-2
Big Apple Series ..................................................1-2

TWO-STADIUM DOUBLEHEADERS
The Mets and Yankees have previously met in a day-night, home-road doubleheader three times. The
first historic doubleheader took place on July 8, 2000. Both New York teams played a regularly sched-
uled day game at Shea Stadium and then a played a night game at Yankee Stadium which was a re-
scheduled contest from a rainout on June 11. The Yankees won both games by the same 4-2 score.
According to Elias, it was the first day-night doubleheader taking place in different venues since Sep-
tember 7, 1903. On that day, the New York Giants played two games against the Brooklyn Superbas
(later known as the Dodgers). The first game was played in the morning at Brooklyn’s Washington Park
with John McGraw’s Giants winning, 6-4. Brooklyn won the second game at the Polo Grounds, 3-0. The
other day-night, Shea-Yankee Stadium doubleheaders were on June 28, 2003 and June 27, 2008. In
2003, the day game took place at Yankee Stadium with the Yankees winning, 7-1. The night cap was at
Shea and the Yankees prevailed, 9-8. In 2008, the final year of both Shea Stadium and Yankee Stadium,
the Mets and Yankees played a day-night, cross-borough doubleheader. The Mets won the day game at
Yankee Stadium, 15-6, and the Yankees took the night cap, 9-0, at Shea.

with a double against the Reds at Shea. In Jose’s next plate appearance, he sacrificed. Af-
ter that, he hit two singles, a double, two more singles, another double, a single, a triple and
then struck out in the ninth inning against Jeff Parrett to end the streak on April 25 at St. Louis.

In 1999, Olerud tied the club record with nine consecutive hits, from his final at-bat on September 16 at
Houston to September 20 vs. Florida. The streak came to an end when he grounded to second in the
third inning of the Mets’ September 22 contest vs. Montreal.

Olerud tied a National League record with his first-inning walk on September 22 vs. Montreal, reaching
base 15 straight times dating back to a single in his final at-bat on September 16th at Houston. Barry

ADVANTAGE.

For every Mets home run hit at Citi Field®, Citi will donate
enough for No Kid Hungry to provide 20,000 meals to help
fight childhood hunger. With 213 home runs over the past two
seasons, that’s more than 4 million meals and a whole lot of
good for kids in need.
Total amount Citi donated for the Citi Community Home Runs program for 2016 and 2017 seasons was $426,000.
